Madigan was NOT going to let a Republican win the governor’s race. Quinn is a seat-warmer for Madigan’s daughter Lisa. Hey—they were threatening alot bigger tax increase, 66% is doing us a favor. /s
Would love to leave the state when we retire, but our kids and grandkids are here.....
I hear you. We are in the tax Hell to the North (Milwaukee area) but perhaps things will pick up slightly here with the new Republican Administration
However....we have advised our children to find somewhere else to settle and when we can WE will follow them.
Ya’ll just all pack up and come to Tennessee. We have no income tax, and not likely to get one any time soon, plus a low cost of living (at least in most parts). Only don’t go to West Tennessee. It’s a Democrat stronghold from way back, especially Memphis which is the old “Ford dynasty” location, plus is on the New Madrid earthquake fault. - We have 5” of snow on the ground right now, but that’s not all that usual; most winters are pretty mild though cold enough that you know its winter, hot summers usually, the Smoky Mountains in east TN to visit on vacation and not too long a drive. - Except for the rattlesnakes in warm weather, the coyotes, bobcats, wild turkeys, raccoons, foxes, deer, occasional tornados passing over mostly, you have it all to yourself for the most part. We love it, but we were born and raised here. Democrats have lost some of their stranglehold on this state in the past few years. People are wising up.
